Re: Who wants to kill Hot Topics ?

I must admit to not having noticed that the subject matter was much different from usual.

Some banal, some slightly amusing and some downright ridiculous. But then when I come to Hot Topics my mind is slightly in sleep mode so I don't require deep intellectual and thought provoking threads to help me pass a quiet 30 mins.

Actually this thread is non-debatable. If you're dissatisfied with how JUB becoming...then contribute yourself. JUB is not the site but the people. So, contribute whether you want to make a thread or simply being a replier.

They miss the conflicts....

Yes! The Irish-Catholic people I know THRIVE on conflict. They love intrigue and petty-dramas and taking umbrage. They are 'Holier-than-thou' and they want everyone to know it. And they love casting scorn and nagging, hectoring and excoriating others who don't live up to their standards.

Re: Who wants to kill Hot Topics ?

Hot Topics is a general discussion forum. Why can't it be also fun and lighthearted? As long as it is not violating JUB's Code of Conducts, let people post whatever they want. Live and let live. Respect freedom of speech.

If you don't like topics being posted here, why don't you post something edgy and interesting for the masses on a frequent basis instead of complaining? Lead by example and contribute!

Don't be a helpless victim. If you don't contribute by creating "interesting" threads frequently in Hot Topics, YOU can only blame yourself.

People used to... until...

... and now it's...

Yes... there's blame... but you're not pointing it in the right direction.
People are tired of having their threads ruined.
Why bother attempting one when it's obvious the flying monkeys are going to swoop in.

I know you all loved Enchanted Sex Kitten and the drama surrounding him (but you guys hated him and drove him out). Git him back and watch your lives flourish.

He's tried to come back but he's been permabanned and will always get banned if spotted again. Keeps posting pictures, too. It's like he thinks the mods don't know what he looks like??

Re: Who wants to kill Hot Topics ?

And we can all sit back and watch that kind of "drama" unfold here in this sub-forum, and watch the chairs fly.

These past few weeks in Hot Topics is like watching a Reality Show of Mean Girls, except they all arrived riding the "short bus."

Ugh I hate when people reference Mean Girls thinking it's amazing. It's a wannabe 'Heathers' and that is a far more accurate description of HT atm as there have been [account] murders and suicides. We just haven't had the bomb threat yet.

Re: Who wants to kill Hot Topics ?

Let me spill this scolding hot lipton while I still have a fresh pot and be done with this bullshit once and for all.

For the past many few months bfizzle, cupid, bender, stoowii, and I have been subliminally, overtly, covertly, and privately bullied, targeted, and talked down to because of the way we post.

I took a break from this forum after the re-haul because I didn't like the design. I came back early 2012 around the same time that Cupid joined, BFizzle had been here for awhile too slaying with his Lindsay Avi. I started using gifs around that time, made friends on the forum, and we all had a gay time together.

Then this happened: "Gifs are slowing down my computer, stop posting them" "You all can't string sentences together so you use gifs instead"

I didn't really mind this. In fact, I did change my posting habits and focused on posting gifs in my own threads.

Then people thought it wise to jump into my threads, and tell me how to post. Now that, ladies and gheighs, was very irritating.

Then, out of no where, things escalated, to name calling, attacks, and even taking things offsite.

All I have ever done is try and share hot stories, interesting tidbits, and shocking articles with my fellow jubbers. You can go to my account and click recent threads to find the receipts.

Since then, it has only gone downhill. Two posters (Who are some that left recently) use to be pleasant towards me and friendly. All of a sudden they changed and started attacking me, saying rude things, calling me names.

When I came back to this forum I did not complain about posters, I did not ask posters to change, I decided what I liked, what I loved, and shared it with the forum.

The whole basis of this OP is about everyone else doing the work. You have an idea of how this forum should be? Post a damn thread and show us. I did not wait for people to post gifs and be shady I did it myself.

Now what I won't deal with is anyone acting like none of this happened and playing stupid.

I rolled with all the punches thrown on this site, you don't get to tell me I didn't.
